About SOAR Immigration Legal Services

Founded in 1979, the mission of Sponsors Organized to Assist Refugees (SOAR) is to assist refugees in becoming self-sufficient, integrated community members. SOAR's legal program began in 1992, in response to an influx of Haitian Asylum Seekers and expanded to serve not just refugees but all low income immigrants. Recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) as an authorized provider of immigration legal services, SOAR Immigration Legal Services provides culturally competent, immigration-related legal representation and education to low income refugees and immigrants in Oregon. Last year, SOAR Immigration Legal Services provided legal services, educational services and legal consultations to more than 2,000 people. Our caseload includes naturalization, adjustment of status, family reunification, temporary protected status, parole renewal, humanitarian parole, employment authorization, asylum counseling, refugee travel documents and Cuban removal defense. In addition to legal services, we also offer Citizenship Classes to prepare individuals for the naturalization interview, and Voter Education Classes for newly naturalized citizens. SOAR Immigration Legal Services is a program of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon. Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon is a statewide association of Christian denominations, congregations, ecumenical organizations and interfaith partners working together to improve the lives of Oregonians through community ministry programs, ecumenical and interreligious dialque, environmental ministry and public policy advocacy.
